Pasta
Article Abstract:
The market for pasta products in European countries such as France, Italy, Germany, and Spain has been growing due to a health trend which favors low-cholesterol food. Companies, such as Nestle SA and Barilla, which produce pasta-related products including canned pasta, instant noodles, and sauces, have gained a wide market share in the mentioned countries. International factors, such as increased demand for convenience store products, are forecasted to boost pasta sales by 30% in the British market between 1997 and 2002.

The Italian market for pasta
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the Italian pasta market shows that the sector is being affected by the changes in Italian eating habits, which is drifting towards snacking. Dry pasta continues to be the product with strong market growth, posting a volume share of 93.8% in 1997 while fresh pasta increased by only 1.4% in volume terms. Much of the real value decline in pasta products is due to the heavy discounting in the saturated pasta sector, which is expected to fall by 13.7% in constant value terms by the year 2002.
